Ok this makes no sense but I will take it. I was digging a target on Saturday with Mr Burlington, when I happened upon a root in the way of my target.
So I took my shovel and began pounding away at this root cause the target was a good seven inches down under the root. after ten minutes of pounding I took a break and decided to move some dirt away with my hand to see how far the root went in another direction when I moved the dirt with my hand, I uncovered some glass and then at that moment I threw my shovel away so as not to do anymore pounding since I saw glass..... the target was a steel button and needs some electrolysis before you see a pic of that..... and later I did find a confederate eagle button but my camera is not cooperating with my computer so the only reason you have the bottle pics is cause the Iphone takes good pics but not enough details for the button anyways here is the money Shot.......let me know what everyone thinks...

I emailed some people about this bottle- and I said I would sell it cause that was asked.
One person offered me $300 for it. another $50 for it. and I talked to someone who is in the know about these things and he said its worth atleast 1 Large. for those of you who know what that means... keep well and please let me know what you guys.... think...MM
 
south carolina (palm tree symbol) dispensary type bottle there are various sizes and colors 1870 to 1920 age ranges --- highly collectible
 
That is a great bottle, I think it should be posted in the bottle forum and see what they think...Don't know a value, but it should be high...jmho
 
Wow what a find. Congratulations.

wow It is a South Carolina Dispensary bottle. I had a book on that at one time but never used it much. I'll try to see if I still have it somewhere. That's a great bottle
 
A pint or half pint SC Dispensary bottle should run around $100 in excellent condition. When you clean it up so any defects can be seen then you'll find out how much it is worth. I dug a quart way back in the 1970's around Savannah. I was given a pint, like yours, by a friend.

I'd keep it if I found it. What you could get for selling is no where near the value of the stories you can tell if you put it on the mantle.
 
Great looking bottle. It does look like the button. The bottle guys are going to love this one. Nice find :thumbsup: You must be on a good site.

There is two of them on ebay right now in the $30.00 range. And another one that has been damaged and altered that will never sell.

The two on ebay have the SCD monogram instead of the palm tree logo.
 
I checked South Carolina clubs website and they are working on it but there was a contact email if anyone needed information on SC bottles

Great bottle! Early SC dispensary...value in the $150 range (could go higher or lower depending on who the buyer and sellers are). Very collectible and always a market for them.

thank you to all who replied to my posting. There are a lot of very nice individuals here on treasurenet and I just want to recognize all of you. Good Luck to everyone hunting and I hope this finds everyone well.. MM
 
Nice bottle Manz.. :notworthy: sure beats the coke bottles I found. You and Burlington need to slow down your killing me. Bet you wouldn't find one of those bottles in Buffalo.

I saw that and my mind went to the much older version that recently sold on ebay for $15k plus, and yes that's a k after the 15. Nice find and that might be a spot worth digging up and sifting out for other bottles.
